Compost is created by the decomposition of organic matter such as yard waste. Compost systems confine compost so that it can receive air and create suitable temperatures for proper decomposition into fertilizer. http://compost.sustainablesources.com
La composta es un abono realizado con desechos organicos.
[Editing, based on International Composting Awareness Week] Organically-active material buried ‘anaerobically’ (without air) in landfill causes greenhouse gas emissions annually by producing methane: a gas with25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide! If properly composted instead, this same organic waste could help to abate climate change in yet another way: by sinking or ‘sequestering’ carbon back into the soil. Using compost on land reduces the need for water by an average of 30%!
